foRAN AND THE woRK&aMAN.
Foran will undoubtedly gain alter tho
first ballot, and his support will come
from tho river counties, which contain
manufactures. He will also get part OF
Licking county, and Lucas, an important
county, will be divided. Young bishop,
son OF the Ex-Governor, is in the city
fighting for Campbell on the quiet against
Powell. Early Monday dispatch was
sent from Cleveland to the Cincinnati la.
Dor unions. notifying them OF Forau,s ac.
ceptance, and the delegates to the conyen.
ton were elected Monday evening". The
news was also circulated throughout the
State wherever labor unions exist, and lit.
tie doubt Ia expressed that the delegates
in other places will be urged by these
means to cast their votes Tor Foraa. There
is still some talk Of nominating Thurman
by reclamation, in the belief that ho wouId
be forced to accept, but 1t Is known that a
letter from him positively refusing to be a
candidate, is ready to be sprung upon the
convention II necessary. Senator Payne
is personally hard a! work for Foran.
